Here is some reading and background information concerning glaucoma and medical marijuana. Please note some of these may not be the latest information but are included to offer a wide range of sources and opinions, they do not constitute medical advice, and in almost every case more research is needed before there is certainty.

Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve of the eye and causes blindness. It occurs most often when fluid builds up in the eye, resulting in increased pressure. Symptoms of glaucoma are few, save for a slow loss of vision. Medical cannabis can help those suffering from glaucoma by reducing pressure in the eye.
